Project description:Mammalian stem-cell-based models of embryo development (stembryos) hold great promise in basic and applied research. However, considerable phenotypic variation despite identical culture conditions limits their potential. The biological processes underlying this seemingly stochastic variation are poorly understood. Here, we investigate the roots of this phenotypic variation by intersecting transcriptomic states and morphological history of individual stembryos across stages modeling post-implantation and early organogenesis. Through machine learning and integration of time-resolved single-cell RNA-sequencing with imaging-based quantitative phenotypic profiling, we identify early features predictive of the phenotypic end-state. Leveraging this predictive power revealed that early imbalance of oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis results in aberrant morphology and a neural lineage bias that can be corrected by metabolic interventions. Collectively, our work establishes divergent metabolic states as drivers of phenotypic variation, and offers a broadly applicable framework to chart and predict phenotypic variation in organoid systems. The strategy can be leveraged to identify and control underlying biological processes, ultimately increasing the reproducibility of in vitro systems.

Project description:Copy number variation and dosage-dependent phenotypic variation in allopolyploid banana cultivars
| PRJEB86884 | ENA
Project description:Traditionally, the study of evolution has focused on heritable variation, because selection on non-heritable phenotypic variation was deemed non-important for its inability to cause evolutionary responses such as diversification of lineages. Recently however, it has been suggested that also environmentally induced phenotypic variation such as phenotypic plasticity can play an important role in adaptive responses resulting in diversification. The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of phenotypic plasticity for the diversification of lineages, using life history, morphological traits, and genomic profiling during post embryonic development in plastic and non-plastic genotypes of the common frog Rana temporaria.

Project description:Migration is essential for the reproduction and survival of many animals, yet little is understood about its underlying molecular mechanisms. We used the salmonid Oncorhynchus mykiss to gain mechanistic insight into smoltification, which is a morphological, physiological, and behavioral transition undertaken by some juveniles that culminates in a seaward migration. This species is experimentally tractable and, unlike common model species, displays intra- and inter-population variation in migration propensity. Migratory individuals can produce non-migratory progeny and vice versa, indicating a high degree of phenotypic plasticity. One potential way that phenotypic plasticity might be linked to variation in migration-related life history tactics is through epigenetic regulation of gene expression. To explore this, we quantitatively measured genome-scale DNA methylation in fin tissue using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing of F2 siblings produced from a cross between steelhead (migratory) and rainbow trout (non-migratory) lines. We identified 57 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between smolt and resident O. mykiss juveniles. DMRs were of high magnitude, ranging from 20-62% differential methylation between life history types, and over half of the gene-associated DMRs were in transcriptional regulatory regions. Many of the DMRs encode proteins with activity relevant to migration-related transitions (e.g. circadian rhythm pathway, nervous system development, protein kinase activity). This study provides the first evidence of a relationship between epigenetic variation and life history divergence associated with a migration-related transition in any species.

Project description:Natural variation within plant species is an important resource for discovery of genes controlling biological traits. Gene-expression profiling of natural variation is increasingly used to identify genes affecting a trait. Here, we explored variation among Arabidopsis thaliana accessions with respect to defense against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst), with a focus on R-gene mediated resistance triggered by the Pst type III effector protein AvrRpt2. We explored variation at two phenotypic levels: growth of the bacteria and hypersensitive response (HR) measured by electrolyte leakage. Considerable variation among accessions was found at both phenotypic levels. The genetic variation among accessions affected both growth of Pst with (Pst avrRpt2) and without (Pst) the AvrRpt2 effector, with some variation being specific for the bacterial strains, and other variation affecting both strains in a similar manner. Variation in HR was not correlated with variation in bacterial growth. Additionally we examine variation in gene-expression profiles after mock- and Pst avrRpt2-inoculated plants, obtained using a dedicated microarray Gene-expression profiling at 6 h post inoculation identified clusters of genes from which expression levels are correlated with bacterial growth and electrolyte leakage. The expression levels of some of these clusters correlate with more than one phenotypic characteristic, such as growth of both Pst and Pst avrRpt2, whereas other clusters were correlated with just one biological parameter. Thus we demonstrate that variation in gene-expression profiles among Arabidopsis accessions is correlated with variation in phenotypic responses. Keywords: Comparisons of Arabidopsis thaliana accessions with respect to inoculation with Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato avrRpt2.

Project description:Cryptic variation fuels plant phenotypic change through hierarchical epistasis
| PRJNA1223391 | ENA
Project description:Cryptic genetic variants exert minimal or no phenotypic effects alone but have long been hypothesized to form a vast, hidden reservoir of genetic diversity that drives trait evolvability through epistatic interactions. This classical theory has been reinvigorated by pan-genome sequencing, which is continually exposing cis-regulatory variation, along with widespread gene duplications and paralog diversification as an underappreciated source of cryptic variation within gene families and the regulatory networks in which they function. However, empirical testing of this hypothesis has been hindered by intractable genetics, limited allelic diversity, and inadequate phenotypic resolution. Here, guided by natural and engineered cis-cryptic variants in a recently evolved paralogous pair, we identified an additional pair of redundant trans regulators, establishing a regulatory network that controls tomato inflorescence architecture. Exploiting an allelic spectrum of network components allowed a high-resolution dissection of a genotype-to-phenotype map, revealing how cryptic variants potentiate trait diversification. We combined coding mutations with a cis-regulatory allelic series in populations segregating for all four genes, systematically constructing gene dosage combinations across 216 genotypes and quantifying their effects on branching in 27,000 inflorescences. Our analysis revealed dose-dependent interactions within paralog pairs enhance branching, culminating in strong, synergistic, effects. However, modeling uncovered an unexpected layer of antagonism between paralog pairs, where accumulating mutations in one pair progressively diminished the effects of mutations in the other. Our results demonstrate how gene regulatory network architecture and complex dosage effects from paralog diversification converge to shape phenotypic space. Given the prevalence of paralog evolution in genomes, we propose that paralogous cryptic variation within regulatory networks elicits hierarchies of epistatic interactions, catalyzing bursts of phenotypic change.
